viking earrings with horses silveredThese distinctive earrings are replicas of a Viking Age pendant from Staraya Ladoga in Russia. The pendant featured an image of two horses. The motif of the two horses is common on Viking jewellery and has its roots in Finnish mythology, the Kalevala. It concerns the battle between the characters Vinminen and Joukahainen. The ringing of the pendant was believed to keep evil spirits away from the wearer.
